Comment (by auniquename):

 Perhaps so in my case, as I am more particular than most.

 That said, my comments on people not wanting to update in order to
 preserve the functionality of unmaintained plugins stand, and that is
 damaging overall to the reputation of WordPress, particularly with regard
 to security.

 People have custom plugins written for their site alone, and then may
 never hear from the developer again and are unable to maintain code
 themselves. Ya, their bed, lie in it, yada, yada...  But if we can prevent
 that, then why not?

 I also have this crazy half baked idea of snapshotting the current version
 of jQuery in WordPress when a plugin that references it is installed, then
 storing it in the db and feed the plugin that copy henceforth... until the
 plugin itself is updated. I haven't really thought that all the way
 through though. Probably lots of pitfalls.

 I just don't see any reason why not include some way to deal with js lib
 version dependencies. Not doing so causes more problems than doing so as I
 see it.
